Floodlit Soccer
Of
Makes A Farce League Competition
By ARCHIE QUICK
There is at least one determined opponent of floodlight soccer. He is no less than Mr Fred Howarth, Secretary of the powerful Football League.
Having watched the Wolverhampton-West Bromwich Cup tie and on his way to a League Management Committee meeting in London he was very outspoken on the subject of "lights."
"For some ties to start at 2.15 p.m. and others at 3.00 p.m. and be partially Bloodlit makes a farce of the competition," he said. “The Football Association should know better than to how to some of the clubs who have the facilities installed. The League would not, It is both unfair and ridiculous to have 45 minutes of a match in daylight and 45 minutes under the lights.

A chronometer is a "super watch"
It has been specially made, specially adjusted, and has passed stringent government tests for accuracy. For fifteen days-and nights—it has been tested in five standard posi- tions, at temperatures ranging from freezing cold to trop-

Every Swiss chronometer is sold with an Official Rating Certificate showing just how it performed in these gov-

Particularly good chronometers are awarded a distinctive notation "especially good results" printed on this cer- tificate.
Before you buy a chronometer, look to see whether it is officially certified with "especially good results." Every Omega Constellation is!
You'll know the Omega Constellation by the gold star on the dial... the observatory engraved on the back of the case... and the name "Constellation” — your guar- antee of an "especially good chronometer."
